Default busy today

tried doing the rear brakes and pads on the car today, never done this before but was a general piece of pi$$

washed the wheels while they were off too



now with orange stuff pads.....will give my feedback once the fronts are done as well.

I have some pf rears with loads of life in them if anyone interested?

Forgotten how rewarding it is doing these bits yourself

Nice job Tim, matching colour all round now

I was surprised how rewarding it is to do bits like this (on any car). Once you have the confidence and know-how to do these sort of jobs, they're normally pretty easy. Worst part is worrying about rusted/seized bolts!
